WHAT: Hundreds of new studies on brain and behavior from the world's most renowned scientists will headline the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology's 2004 Annual Meeting. Presentations include new studies on the effects of early Ritalin exposure on normal brains and the top smells than can predict Alzheimer's Disease.

SELECTED STUDIES INCLUDE:

Early Ritalin Exposure May Have Long-Term Effects on the Brain: Animal study suggests that the misdiagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) combined with Ritalin use in children may lead to a higher risk of developing depressive symptoms in adulthood.

Lemons, Lilac Among Top 10 Smells That Could Predict Alzheimer's Disease: Finds that for patients with minimal to mild cognitive impairment, a 10-smell odor identification is a better predictor of Alzheimer's Disease than brain imaging tests and standard memory tests.
